Nintendo recently discussed why their E3 line-up has lacked any "core" or names from their traditional range.

Shigeru Miyamoto has been around this week, speaking to the press a fair bit more than usual in recent years. Today he proclaimed how E3 has changed since the birth of the Wii in 2006. The Man behind Mario feels that as the industry is leaning toward the casual/expanded market, there needed to be a focus for that during E3. That said, the company are still working on a range of traditional titles for the "core" gamer, but E3 won't be the event to showcase these.

I think that there's probably one other element to it, and that's that our view of how we use E3 has changed. For a very long time, E3 was an event where � and certainly Nintendo included � catered specifically to the core gamer. Now we look at more … an opportunity for us to introduce new concepts and new types of play that we intend to bring to the broader audience, particularly because of the media that gathers at E3 now.

So while attending an E3 event like this, they might be given the impression that Nintendo is no longer focusing on the games that appeal to the core gamer, in fact we're still working on many of those titles, but it's just not the type of event where we'll be showcasing that anymore.

With that in mind, will Nintendo be revealing more familiar names at a separate event this year? Do you feel the company should have shown far more this time round?

Old Miyamoto sure is doing a lot of interviews. Probably trying to make up for that shocking media briefing.

What I want to know is which event, if any, is the "type of event" it'd be appropriate to show these supposed "core" games.

I was thinking TGS 2008 with the key titles. It does make sense, the casual gamers need something like E3 as it gets the most coverage and for people that arent the hardcore they will get to hear this news that way.

Geeks and Otaku scourer the internet for the real info

I think this is called "Damage Control." I think they underestimated the outcry from the "core" gamers after their press conference gave them (us) anything to get really excited about, and now they are trying to calm the masses.

If that's genuinely the reason (which it well could be), that's totally understandable. Just make sure there some core games in development and another event to showcase them.

None of the big 3 had any major game announcements.
This is actualy a good explanation.

Well, ok, fair enough, Microsoft had FFXIII announced for the xbox which was probably the best score of any of the companys.
But that wasnt a new game either, thats just pointing out sony isnt getting an exclusive.

Sonys conferance just was them pushing the same games they have SINCE BEFORE THE PS3s RELEASE, and a few ports.

Frankly, E3 sucked for everyone.

So the scaleing back and unsuitability of the new E3 might have been a reason.
